great song...... why (REPUBLICANS) build the wall

DUSTY.....can this beautiful capture be found without the "hiss" through out the recording ...... higher quality audio ?

another classic from Anais on you tube is NAMESAKE (balcony recording, Germany) lost to hiss!

i would give a million bucks for these without the background noise

[Dusty Wright]

It's an AIF master, 2 track audio file...plus It's crickets and farm noise...hiss from the two tracks is very minor on my studio reference speakers, but once you compress the entire vid it gets squashed a tad,but still sounds fine on my system...what are you ...it could be if eliminated if we decide to release it as stand alone mp3...that could happen.

whats the song in the begging i love that one

[Dusty Wright]

You got find that song on my channel under One-Takes. Enjoy!

[Fabio Fina]

Amazing, this acoustic version is incredible. Puffdusty did you record any more songs in this way (like the one I hear at the beginning of the video)?

[Dusty Wright]

Just posted "Our Lady of the Underground" from the same farm session.

Good for you troll. I don't give a shit about your band. In fact, I would put my balls all over your drum set just for being a douche.

[ganeshavsworld]

[Andrew Matthews]

The natural noises help make the track.... To HELL with studio micro-managed tracks.... Should be more talented folks like Anais...

[Elizabeth Story]

PERPETUALLY AMAZED BY ANAIS!!! Thank you for posting!!!

[nervesofreal]

a eunuch drummer who has overdoesed [sic] on stupidity. :p [oops, I didn't read the "don't feed the trolls" sign]

[SantaOfNeretva]

You should see psychiatrist, and soon. You're mental health shouldn't concern me, however you are interacting with other people, who shouldn't be put through these demented appearances of the "Druuuuuummeeeeeer" !

[SantaOfNeretva]

Why is she idiot,... in your view "nooby"?

[SantaOfNeretva]

BRAVO!

BRAVO, Anais!

[nervesofreal]

we have a wall to work upon...

what has this to do with party politics (except that it is itself part of the wall) or some random troll's incoherent opinion? This song (in my attempt to express a coherent opinion) is a call and response diatribe on domination, mind-control and ignorance - the response is merely a parroting/acceptance of the calls without question, which results in bondage. The irony being that the responders believe themselves to be free. No?
